    If you are looking for a place for swimming: don't go. The pool is used by hotel guests, people who want to swim and for children swimming lessons. - all at the same time. This means 3 swimming lanes: A bigger one for the kids only and the other two you have to share with people swimming, members and hotel guests. When we started, kids would have lessons until 5:45pm only, so we changed our schedule to go later on to make sure there were enough space to swim. Now, classes go from 2 pm until 6:45. So we moved to Saturday and we were told there were classes until 3pm. Last Saturday there were classes until 8 pm. So, if you wanna pay to be able to swim only on Sundays or to go for swimming and have to wait to be able to do so, join it. The kids are also packed in the swimming lane (around 10 of them in one swimming lane only). Summing up it looks like they care only about money and by adding swimming classes for children for more and more slots all the time, they get it. Staff is very kind, nothing to complain about them.

    I love everything about this gym. They have a lot of options of classes all day long and everyday. The gym was recently renewed and it's spotless. All the facilities are very well maintained, and the staff are simply amazing. I couldn't recommend NRG enough.

    Great gym, feels very modern and up to date with pretty fresh equipment. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. It is a bit pricey but it feels like it earns it. Central location is convenient with plenty of parking underground. Only downside would be that it can get really crowded. They do their best to compensate with extra facilities but it doesn’t seem to work. Overall would recommend.

    Was previously a member of both Leisureworld gym and Meteropole Hotel gym. When I saw that NRG Health & Fitness stayed open til 10pm at night and had a swimming pool I felt it was worth looking into. Don't get home from work til roughly 8.45pm depending on certain shifts. I was certainly not disappointed with NRG. It has everything you need in a good gym. Plus having a swimming pool is vital for me to keep up my swimming training on those cold winter nights. Still prefer the sea but at least no Jellyfish. One of the biggest assets that NRG possess is the staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Only draw back I would have is they tend to shut down at about 9.40sh so for me whose trying to get that last bit out of the wonderful facilities after my swim like the Jacuzzi or Sauna etc it can be slightly annoying. I would still give it a 5 out of 5 which is the highest appraisal I could give any gym I've been to. The kind staff and positive attitude in there helps give you a lift. Was only in there today and was chatting with one member of staff 5 mins who genuinely was asking how my outside training was continuing. Strongly recommend NRG Fitness. Also many of the fitness classes come with the membership.

    Generally good, but some of the maintenance, and cleanliness in the dressing rooms and showers could be improved on. The pool is well kept and pleasant to use, the gym is above average

    The women’s only section is amazing! Great to have a gym that looks after all it’s members, being a girl it can be very easy to get intimidated in a gym, NRG has put in a lot of thought and effort to make a safe environment for all to do their bit it’s got all you need and brand new equipment, staff always happy to help especially Roman, Tom Ashling and Angela with advice a word of encouragement and a huge smile

    This really is an outstanding gym. The free classes to members are top class and are given by a team of brilliant instructors. The online classes available to members are brilliant and have helped maintain and improve my fitness levels during this pandemic.
